Water Indicator Location? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Not sure if this is posted in the right place, but has anyone found the water indicator on the S4?
My phone no longer vibrates, no matter what sound mode its in or what type of message or call is sent to my phone. I have checked all my settings and everything is set to vibrate. I've rebooted my phone, and left the battery out for sometime and still not vibrating.
I was working out and am afraid moisture may have gotten in the phone, which is causing this problem. I can get it replaced through warranty, but want to make sure I didn't trip the moisture indicator.
Thanks in advance.

Yeah no rattle with mine. I believe I found the obvious moisture indicators on the battery, and under it, but I don't know if there are any other indicators I should check.

put your phone in hand and bit with the finger( drop the finger on the buttons, on the metal or on the back)
It's a setting in your phone, i'll translate it from a Dutch device:
Goto Settings and click on the left bottom of the screen on More.
In Tab: System you will find: TouchFlo.
Inthere you can (un)check if you wan't your phone to vibrate or not when touching the screen.
In some occasions my phone still vibrates but i don't find it anoying so i didn't bother that and don't know how to change it.

And your phone drops on the floor and the vibrating is gone because phone is broken.

Nope sorry, no vibration here just the sound of my finger against the case. For example it doesnt rattle/vibrate etc when shaken either.
I read in czech forum about that noise. Somebody wrote there, it could be shade of camera. ???

noise is in bottom part of the phone
I've read about noise nearby camera lens
My phone also does it, I thaught it might be coming from the vibrator inside.

i do think so , just hoping it's not a big problem.
what was the noise by the camera lense? do you have a link?
Hi
I think it is the accelerometer, my laptop which has one to detect if it is falling also makes the same noise.
Regards
Phil
what is the accelerometer? is it normal then or something to worry about. if you tap the top of the phone with your finger you can hear something like a faint ratle or something along them lines.
I think i know the sound you mean, and if we thinking of the same sound its the focuus in the camera. you hear the same sound after you take a photo and the focus releases

Could be indeed. The lens is suspended on a wire spring so an electro magnet can move it in and out to focus. So it would move about if the camera is shaken.
An accelerometer of the type in our phones I think is the same sort of thing, a magnet or coil of wires suspended on a wire spring so it can move about.
The noise is normal.

Phil
Hello,
I have the same noise... i think that is the camera lens or the stylus... not a big problem...

phone disconnecting while on a call

Hi everyone--
I just got my HD2 a couple of weeks ago, and there is one problem that is consistently driving me NUTS. Because the screen is so large, while I am on a phone call, some part of my ear (and they are a normal size) is touching something on the screen that disconnects the call. Is there a way to cut down on the screen sensitivity while on a call, or simply disable the screen while I am on the phone? I've searched in many places, and can't find an answer anywhere. Please help, if you are able, before this problem drives me insane! Thanks in advance--
I would say something else is going on, as the HD2 has a proximity sensor that is "supposed" to switch off the screen when it is at your ear ...
And Mine does, so if yours is not then something else may be going on ...
trippster, test it like this:
call your voicemail, and keep the phone in your hand away from your face. once the call is connected, hold your thumb over the spot on the face of the phone just to the left of the ear speaker and tmobile logo...that should trigger it to switch the screen off until you move your finger

That's a REALLY awkward way to hold your phone while you're attempting to speak, don't ya think?

That was just a suggestion to make sure the proximity sensor is working, not a way to talk on the phone all the time ....

[Q] Galaxy S4 Vibration

Hi guys,
i bought my s4 the day one and it works great for now :laugh: but i have a question on the device's vibration. It looks like stronger than s3, so strong that during vibration seems that plastic parts vibrate Is it normal? It looks like an electric razor xD :good:
Also found the Vibra is stronger on the S3
Might have a look to see if the flex/motors are the same and try a swap but not yet
yeh I found when i first got it the startup vibrate (can that be turned off by the way?) was really strong and sounded/felt unpleasant.
Have turned down the haptics and vibrate in settings and now its ok. Except that startup vibrate is still intense.
there is vibration settings, you can choose rhythm (not sure if it's the correct word) and the strength of vibration. just try that

Hi
It seems to be normal! Unfortunately. Some plastic parts vibrate even if you lay the phone on the table... Just knock on the chassis with your finger an the phone vibrates....

I agree with you, on my device happens the same thing, the color of mine is White Frost.
But a friend of mine has bought the phone (color Black Myst) some days ago, his device's vibration isn't strong and knocking on the chassis with a finger doesn't make the phone vibrate.... Should us be worried for ours?
Thank you for your replies.
UP
I know this topic is oldish but I also have one question.
Does your gs4 vibration make a kind of broken sounding noise? I don't know how to describe the noise but it's like if some part inside is loose.
When I hold the device firmly it vibrates normally. I removed the cover and pinpointed the noise source, seems to be the camera or the sim/SD slot.
It's rally bad when you start the device and it vibrates once, or when you spam press the bell or heart beat vibration preview in settings.
It's also just the first few milliseconds of the vibrate when it's really bad I think.
Do you guys have the same thing?
I got the same problem... Thought it was just me...
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda app-developers app
Is there any solution for the crackling sound coming from the phone when it vibrates??

Has anybody else cured the vibrating camera issue?

Seems like something is off in there, weird vibration thing, camera is completely hazy, you have to shake the hell out of it to return to a clear screen, which is only temporary. I've heard that its because you dropped the phone too many times.

You might have to restart the phone or something. Never had this happen to me.
Happens to me very frequently

Alert slider too hard to move

Does anyone facing issue in 6t that alert slider is too hard too move ... Have to apply a significant amount of force ... ? Anyone ?!
I just picked up one from eBay and mine is pretty stiff, too.
Quite honestly, I've had mine since launch, I've never touched it.
Its kind of tough to slide .. my father has same device and it's smooth on their phone
Yea,can be a bit stiff ,but find it's a lot smoother if I use my nail and it just easily clicks up and down

I got replacement at service center within 30 mins they found that most of 6t users have this problem becuse of the wrong cutout in alert slider ... So if its too hard to move than you should get it checked at nearest service center !
Mine seems to be the opposite, it slides too easily. I constantly find myself inadvertently setting my phone to Vibrate or Silent when taking the phone out of my pocket.
